How true. We live in a social media world. Who really knows if a YT influencer is telling the truth or if he is just being paid by a company to promote a product that he (she) claims is better?

That quote is a perfect example for the latest cerakote ceramic coating disastrous marketing. And the ceo said that he’s not really fan of torture tests. That’s his opinion. I am. Thanks for sharing that quote Jimbo and never being a sell out. I can spot a phony 100 miles out

Your up early this Sunday but I agree with a product being torture tested. We charge a lot of money for ceramic coatings and I could not sleep if a product failed after a few automatic car washes. Ten months ago I coated my step dad’s truck and he runs the truck through a car wash weekly. The coating is still strong today. I would feel like a salesman selling snake oil if the coating failed.

Spot on as usual Jimbo👍Critical thinking is an immensely important and overlooked skill in life that can be applied to so many situations. I like listening to other peoples experiences with products, but I’ll do a lot of research and ask around before I pull the trigger on a new product.

You are a wealth of knowledge and fair insight…I have no doubt your products are going to blow people’s socks off, and I cannot wait to be introduced to them!!!!

Thank you for keeping it real and not being like everyone else who keeps all of the secrets hidden, this is why i like the content you post. Please keep it coming.

We call it the 5 Why's in the quality world, Jimbo. Keep asking why, and by the 5th question you have reached the true answer. Sometimes it takes fewer why's, sometimes more.

Im assuming you seen Pans video with the CEO.. talk about damage control 😂 he even tried saying the cure temps are the issue, but Pan applied his in a temperature control area, following the directions, and it was already failing! Bad look for that company. They messed up big time.

I am new to all of this, but am very into research before I pull the trigger on new things. I’d rather see 50 washes through a spray and pay than 50 hand washes with a ph neutral soap. The consumer is almost afraid to take their car to the car wash anymore as it may ruin what they have applied. Reality is, it may be the only way at certain times. I understand as a pro you want to be in control of how the vehicle is maintained to an extent, but wouldn’t want the product stripped from a few passes through a spray and pay or auto car wash facility

Stay True Jimbo! Your channel has been a favorite of mine for a while now, but in the past few months its been really interesting. I agree with you 100%.

In Jimbo we trust.

A ceramic coating is supposed to be a premier coating system. It was always sold to be more durable and long lasting...especially compared to a typical carnuba wax. So if I were to purchase a "high level" ceramic coating system and it fails or it's behaviors/attributes are not holding up after a wash or two...then what's the use. Might was well use a Mother's or P21S. I believe there needs to be an authority/governing body that is monitoring the manufacturing of these products (if there already isn't) so there's more control over what people sell and claim. It's getting out of hand, I think. Ok...off my soap box :)

Totally agree with you. There is no perfect product for anything out there. There will always be a give a take to everything. Rest assured, you're on the right path. Can't wait to hear about your product release.

Keep up the good work Jimbo! It's all about the profit for a lot of these companies out there and can be rather difficult sifting through them and getting products that actually perform as well as or better than expected. Is that coating on the far right of the panel one of Walter's/Your Coatings? Or can you say what coating was on that panel yet when compared to the $30 coating company?

Loved this buddy spot on

Always great content man i just start listening more or you and really like it man!!!!

I appreciate the honesty in your video and these have been my concerns as well with the product that shall not be named. I love the company and went into my experience REALLY wanting to love the product. The application and ease of install, gloss, and slickness was amazing. But durability is a BIG point. I live in Florida - it rains a lot. The puddles I drive through no doubt have grease, gasoline, run-off from pressure washing company chemicals, etc... Probably not "lighter fluid" but it's also reasonable to expect to accidentally spill gas/diesel every now and then at the pump and hope you didn't just destroy your ceramic coating. What's most disappointing to me is I spent two weekends detailing, 2 step correcting, and applying this coating to my truck and wife's sedan. A month later I did a wash and some of the wheel cleaner got on the fender areas of the vehicles (sat for maybe 1-2 minutes before rinse) where I can visibly see the hydrophobics have now been hindered. I don't care about the $30 (let's be honest - it's $60+) but I do care about the 18+ hours between coating both vehicles being a waste of time now that I want to get a more durable coating on there. For the asking, I applied the coating in mixed environments in my garage mostly controlled - 75F/60%RH & 50F/40% and appeared to have cured fine since they didn't wash off after the first wash. I did also use this company's spray topper on both just to try and gain more durability.

I believe what i know. What I touch what I used... it's like these days i seen detailing class online..... doesn't make any sense to me...... you have to feel paint, fabric and all the other stuff to experience things..... all these industries are just selling stuff THAT they buy from other companies that they don't even understand themselves... do you ever think about this james! Back in the day we never use to get water spots on cars. Now we do it's because we start it 😅 buy putting sealant and coating on our car's from you put that on the car it's an ongoing process apply apply apply 🤦🏾‍♂️

All i can say is do what makes u happy (beyond reason of course lol). Although i caught some flack for my comments which they deemed im like taking ur side and defending Jimbo which i didnt know this issue blew up from multiple channel, its well worth it as long we believe what we know and not what were allowed to see. Touche; i know lol! People need to understand that detailing is fun and should be kept that way, non of this nonsense they keep instigating.

Speaking of secrets, what's in that Fireball Wax Off or Kamikaze No 5 stuff? Does the same blender make them both? Wax Off seems to work well, I assume it's a light abrasive plus detergent but don't know. One of the easiest products that actually strips sealants.

Ceramic coating torture is akin to an impact driver torture test when submerged underwater. These are not designed to be used underwater, but accidents happen. Similarly, with vehicles, companies conduct head-on collision tests.

If the aforementioned ceramic coatings company produces products or components of products for other companies or distributors, they would definitely know their share of the marketplace. All big companies do. And I'm sure they've got a good legal team that made sure however they worded what they said was correct. If others read it incorrectly or more broadly or generally than they stated, that's not their fault. Best thing to do would be to clarify their claim, rather than further controversy by spreading it

They don't want you to see behind the wizards curtain , The quality of your questions determine the quality of your life. looking forward to your new products . You will be losing access to to insiders club since your revealing the industry secrets. Refreshing to hear your thoughts from being an insider.

I’m looking forward to your progress and progressing into the coatings world. I’m a firm believer in DIYDetail products because of Yvan Lacroix and Apex products because of Brian Spitler and their knowledge. So your knowledge will fall right inline with those guys….guys who actually know what they’re talking about.

I’m lining up to buy so…

Has anyone heard an apology from the person wbo originally promoted the $30 coating? Their lack of research caused people to lose time and money on this whilst filiing their own pocket. How could you come out with a video like that without having done your own testing first? Astonishing

Plz Jimbo keep telling us the truth about the industry. Lots of fraudsters out there

Not to make this political..but your quote... believe what you know, not what you are allowed to see... take that to todays media agenda push

First!!!!!

I’m just here waiting on the release of “Sara’s Coat” or some “Oil Pan the Revitalizer”undercarriage spray. By Jimbo’s all in the details company.🚗 🧼

Can you add Chamber Lye in your torture tests? I have been using a lot of it as a super cheap detailing chemical lately.

Honesty and transparency are overrated, don't bother.
